PRESENTATION
Within the chapters, symbols draw 
your attention to specific information:directs you to the chapter and 
section which contains detailed 
information concerning a function,
indicates important information 
relating to use of the equipment,
alerts you to the safety of 
individuals and equipment on 
board.
For any work on your vehicle, use 
a qualified workshop that has the 
technical information, competence and 
equipment required, which a CITROËN 
dealer is able to provide.
We draw your attention to the 
following point:
The fitting of electrical equipment 
or accessories which are not 
recommended by CITROËN may 
result in a failure of your vehicle's 
electronic system. Contact a CITROËN 
dealer to be shown the recommended 
equipment and accessories. The equipment presented may be 
standard, an option or not available, 
depending on the model and can vary 
from one country to another or not be 
available in all countries.

Motoring & the Environment
Berlingo-2-VU_en_Chap02_eco-conduite_ed02-2015
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 
emissions.
Eco-driving
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up 
without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference 
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator 
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most 
suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the 
instrument panel, follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, 
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine 
braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the 
accelerator progressively. These practices contribute 
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2 
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic 
noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system 
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is 
flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too 
warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents 
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the 
air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep 
the temperature in the passenger compartment down 
(sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic 
regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not 
automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the 
level of light does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in 
winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia 
devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute 
towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and 
so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel 
consumption by recommending the 
most appropriate gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one (or more) 
gear(s). 
You can follow this instruction 
without engaging the intermediate 
gears.
The gear engagement 
recommendations must not be 
considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount 
of traffic and safety remain determining 
factors when choosing the best 
gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic gearbox, the system 
is only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear 
change recommendation 
according to the driving conditions 
(slope, load,
  ...) and the demands 
of the driver (power, acceleration, 
braking,
  ...).
The system never suggests:
-
 
engaging first gear
 ,
-
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
The information appears in 
the instrument panel in the 
form of an arrow.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the 
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP 
mode - during stops in the traffic (red 
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The 
engine restarts automatically - START 
mode - as soon as you want to move 
off. The restart takes place instantly, 
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system reduces fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions as well as the noise 
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp 
comes on in the instrument 
panel and the engine goes 
into standby:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , at speeds 
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you 
put the gear lever into neutral and 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
with
  a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox, at speeds below 5 mph 
(8 km/h), when you press the brake 
pedal or put the gear lever into 
position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system, 
a time counter calculates the sum of 
the periods in STOP mode during a 
journey. It rests itself to zero every time 
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox, for your comfort during 
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode 
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the 
functionality of the vehicle, such as 
braking, power steering, for example.
n
 ever refuel with the engine in 
STOP mode; you must switch off 
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
 
the driver's door is open,
-
  
the driver's seat belt is not 
fastened,
-
  
the vehicle has not exceeded 
  
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last 
engine start using the key,
-  
the engine is needed to maintain 
a comfortable temperature in the 
passenger compartment,
-
  
demisting is on,
-
  
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.
In this case, the 
 "ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for a 
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine START modeThe "ECO" warning lamp 
goes off and the engine starts:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , when you 
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-
 
with
  a 6-speed electronic 
gearbox:
●
 
gear lever in position 
 A or M, 
when you release the brake 
pedal,
●
 
or gear lever in position 
 N and 
the brake pedal released, when 
you move the gear lever to 
position A or M,
●
 
or when you engage reverse 
gear
.
With a manual gearbox in STOP 
mode, if a gear is engaged without 
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a 
warning lamp comes on or a message 
is displayed asking you to depress the 
clutch pedal to restart the engine. Special cases: START invoked 
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is 
invoked automatically when:
-
 
you open the driver's door
 ,
-
 
you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
 
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual 
gearbox or 7 mph (1
1 km/h) with 
the 6-speed electronic gearbox 
system,
-
 
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.In this case the 
"ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for few 
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO 
OFF"   switch to deactivate the 
system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp coming on accompanied by a 
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.
